Jano,

I presume, there is no heat at all ?

You're sure you have a heat setting selected on the temperature control knob ?

You're sure you have gas supplied and turned on to the dryer ?

Try this, so we'll have a better idea of which direction to take,

On the lower left side of the front panel, you'll find a 1in X 1in square,removable plastic cover, carefully remove the cover using a putty knife,butter knife, etc.
( the plastic cover removed, will give you a way of observing the ignition process).

Put the dryer into a dry cycle with hi heat selected, and start the dryer.

Through the observation openning, you should see:

An orange glow(from the igniter).
After 30 to 40 seconds, the orange glow should start to fade.
In less than a second, you should be able to see or hear the gas ignite.

You may need to observe this process for a few minutes(10 to 15)if all the above occur.

If nothing occurs, you'll need a multi meter, so we can check thermostats, glow bar, and sensors,etc.


We'll keep an eye out for your update response, and we can get going from there.
